Summary: Western Refreshment
Comment: Here is a collection of essays written as a column for the Durango Harold newspaper from 1985 to 1995 by an archeologist, newspaper editor, mayor and fifth generation Coloradoan. Part almanac and part personal reflection, this book is a collection of sparkling, poetic nature writing that will cleanse and refresh the city-weary soul. Each essay carefully illuminates this segment of the western landscape for those who may think they already know it and for those who don't know it at all. The descriptions alone are so precise and accurate that Thompson could be writing of only one place in the world. At the same time, Thompson's choice of words and the way he skillfully uses language to draw meaning and signifcance from his surroundings is at once wise, prophetic, disturbing and comforting. This a book that provides inspiration over that first cup of coffee in the morning. It is also a book that provides rest and assurance that somewhere the world is still beautiful even after a long, difficult day at work.
